Just to keep my shuttle tatting up to speed another bookmark in two colors. (shuttle yellow, ball green). The pattern (slightly adapted) comes from 'Christmas Angels and other tatting patterns by Monica Hahn'. See my other post here.

From the book (above) Christmas Angels and other tatting patterns by Monica Hahn I tatted this snowflake with shuttle and ball. Just taking another color gives it a total different look. The book contains a collection of simple patterns you can easily adapt if you don't want to use them for Christmas (exept the angles, ofcourse) I love the circles within the circles.

This coptic binding took some time, I think it was three times I did the binding. Everytime with another thread. The first thread was too thick, the second too thin. Finally I used tatting thread #10 and this looks good. But I am still looking for a nice waxed thread to bind my books with. I think I have to wait for the bookbinding fair in November! The Japanese paper makes it look very nice. How I love to work with that paper!
